FAIR 4 Facilities Workshop

BioFAIR Workshop

We are delighted to open applications for the BioFAIR workshop, focusing on the barriers and opportunities in producing FAIR data and workflows within UK life science facilities.

Join us for a two-day event centered on facilitated discussions about current FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) practices. We’ll be highlighting key obstacles and mapping out a community roadmap to make FAIR data a reality across UK institutes.

Who is this for?

If you work at a facility within a UK life science institute, we want to hear from you! Whether you are a technician producing data, a bioinformatician analyzing it, a data steward managing it, or a facility manager, your perspective is vital. FAIR experts and newcomers are equally welcome.
